Specification of nofaaeaa Application led December 22, 1911.

To @ZZ fwwm t may concern Be it known that i, JOHN ALEXANDER Prim, ofthe city of Toronto, in the county of York, in vthe Provinoe oaOntario,Canada,A have invented certain new and useful the interior of areceptacle especially when adapted for the sale of chewing gum,

whereby the different or desired flavors may he selected bythe purchaserwith facility.

.z-i further object is yto so arrange the means that it will notinterfere with the receptacle bci-ng kept in a closed condition.

To eect these objects l have constructed my receptacle with a series ofcards radiating from a common center and extend ing from the top tothe'hottom of the receptacle, and pro'ided 'with shoulders intermediateof theouter edge, whereby the upward movement ofthe cards is limited,and a handle or loopior raising the cards, each complementary cardheilig labeled near the upper edge with the naine of the particular1flavor inclosed by the complementary cards, so that the minor packagescontained therein may he readily distinguished and selected, the parts,being otherwise conn strnctcd and arranged as hereinafter moreparticularly explained.

Figure l, is a perspective View showing a receptacle provided with myimprovement. lfig. 2, is a view of 'the divisions removed from thereceptacle.

it is the receptacle, which lf slow cylindrical, although it may be oi'any other form or shape and are a series of cards, which are providedwith shoulders B, whereby the upper endaof the cards are reduced insize. One of the cards l show a dat card and the others l show bent inthe center, so as to form radial divisions, the flat card forms alsoradial 4divisions diametrically Letters Patent- Patented Sept. i7, 1912.

opposite each other. All together I show six divisions, although, ofcourse, there may be more depending on the number of cards used. Thecards are connected together preferably by a ribbon or cord C, which issewn through holes in the cards as indicated and terminates at the upperend-in a loop C. This loop C 'forms aineans for raising the', vcards.'The shoulders B form of vthe cards, such shoulders coming in contactwith a rim A as indicated in Fig. l. On the upper face of the cardswithin each angle is-printed the name of the particular flavor ofchewing gum encompassedwithi'ri the angular space (see Fig. l).

Such a division rece tacle as l describe is very simple andeiiectuallyprovides a means tor4 separating different flavors of chewinggum, and indicaifin the I exact space in which they are located inorderigthat they may be selected with facility. i

What Il claim as my invention 1s:

l. The combination with a receptacle having an inturned rim at itsperipheral edge, of a series of cards having shoulders, designed to comein contact with the rim upward beyond said rim.

2. Thenornbination with a receptacle having an upper rim, of a series ofcards having shoulders designed to conie in Contact with the upper rimforming divisions, and extensions on the upper ends of the cards havingimprint-ed thereon an indicating name as and for the purpose specified.
